The CWBCC realizes it will be a very important tour and would be a sell out no doubt.. we expect good things from this tour.. and it would no doubt be a tough contest !..

 

[Simon]

hey thats awesome, lets hope the CWxi put in a good performance against these guys, imo its now important we build on the sri lankan series and really go foward now.. good luck to the team...

Yes i think AGR Loudon and LE Plunkett are the ones to watch, wait who the f**k are they?

Looks a strong squad even though they have few a no names i've never heard, should be a big challenge for the boys after their convencing wins over Sri Lanka.

 

[roseboy64]

Hopefully I can play in that Tour match. Should be an interesting series.

 

[mikeW]

Go CW lets win this series after the brilliant performance against Sri Lanka.

 

[KennyD]

Go CW, lets put Australia to shame and get up over the poms.

 

[Burpey]

Best wishes guys. I hate the bloody Poms so stick one up them for me

 

[thewizard1o1]

Should be a great series.....it will also allow CW to show the cricketing world that the series win over Sri Lanka was no fluke. Go out there and give them hell!

They were picked on the tour to Pakistan. Plunkett is a seamer, and Loudon is an off-spinner who can bat quite well and apparently has a doosra.

so his a chucker then?

 

[Cloete]

so his a chucker then?

This is coming from a Sri Lankan?

Btw... you stole my Location, or you stole Ian's but he stole his off me anyway.

Should be an interesting tour, hopefully we can put up some good performances!

This coming from an Australian, the home of the greatest chucker of them all

Stole your location, last time i check im not currently located in the home of the crappest football team in Australia, 3-1

More along the lines of:

"Was that a doosra just now?"

"Yeah, it might have been"

"ENGLAND SPINNER BOWLS DOOSRA!!!"

Oh well, we'll just have to try to carry that momentum. It should be a very good tour, I'm hoping it goes down to the fifth Test - unless we swamp them 3-0 in the first three Tests, of course, I'll have that too.

This is going to be a real test of our improvements - we did well against SL, but England are a real step up on current form.

Do we have someone in the team who can take Flintoff out for the night before the 1st Test and convince him that he's just won the Ashes that day?!

 

[Jamee999]

Wow, up against England, the Ashes winners.

It won't be easy but with the likes of Cloete, Hakon, Marc, Neil, Kyle, Goffy and many more, I'm sure we'll run them close.

 

[Robertinho]

You didn't mention David Kennett, you are the tool of the week

 

[chaminda_00]

I thought you got given that week in week out

I'll take him out and convince him I've won him as a prize.
